Purpose

Timetable for the Local Development Scheme for
Buckinghamshire

Content

 
The Local Development Scheme
(LDS) set out the timetable for the production
of Local Development Documents (LDDs) which included the
Local Plan and associated documents. Councils were required to
produce the LDS in accordance with the Planning and Compulsory
Purchase Act 2004 (as amended). Where appropriate it should also
include details of other documents that would form part of the
development plan, for example neighbourhood plans.
 
The LDS and any amendments made
to it must be made publicly available and should be published on
the Council’s website and kept up-to-date. The LDS had been updated to reflect the
current position of the Local Plan and other development plans and
to respond to the latest national guidance. In December 2024, the
government published announcements for all local planning
authorities to produce an updated LDS within 12 weeks of the
publication of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF),
giving a deadline of 6th March.
 
RESOLVED
that the updated Local
Development Scheme to have effect from 11th March 2025 be
agreed.
